Ming Dynasty: Starting from Liaodong Jiangmen

Chapter 40 The Death of Li Rusong

Feng Liangzu was sitting uneasily in the main hall. He sat for a while, then stood up and paced back and forth. His face was anxious, but he also knew that in a situation like this, the only life-saving straw was right in front of him.

If Li Shunzu didn't come, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Recalling his previous attitude towards the future Uncle Ning Yuan, Feng Liangzu just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. If he hadn't really had no other choice, he would not have come to Li's house shamelessly.

"Commander Feng, what brought you here?"

Suddenly there was a loud laugh in the back hall, but it was Li Shunzu, Yuan Yu, Sun Liang and others who came out.

Seeing Li Shunzu coming, Feng Liangzu looked like he was being pardoned and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted repeatedly.

"It's finally here, it's finally here!"

"Governor Li, you gathered together to annihilate the slave cavalry at Guangqumen, and you won a great victory with the Manchu commander at Yongdingmen. Your Majesty granted you the title of Ning Yuanbo's honorary guard. Your deeds are now known to everyone in the government and at home. There is nothing I can do about it. , then I came to you for rescue!"

"The past events were all caused by Song Fu forcing each other. I hope we can put an end to our past feud!"

Feng Liangzu's face was full of sincerity, but there was no hint of fraud.

It's just that Li Shunzu didn't have a good impression of him. He didn't know what medicine Feng Liangzu was selling this time. He thought it would be better to be more cautious, so he laughed and said:

"I'm not that stingy person. What happened in the past is in the past. Why did Commander Feng come here this time?"

When Feng Liangzu heard this, he was determined and complimented him repeatedly.

"Commander Li is magnanimous. The young man was really blinded by this. He deserves death."

As he spoke, there was hatred on his face.

"Song Fu, who had always been in the Northern Division before, forced me to embarrass you. After Governor Li of Guangqumen put down the mutiny last time, Song Fu gave me a death order and asked me to deal with Governor Li. But Governor Li is not the only one in the pool. Object, where is your opponent?"

"Governor Li is now going to Beijing to take a higher position. Seeing that I have no chance to contact you anymore, Song Fu wants to kill the donkey and replace me with my cousin as the Qianhu of Nansi."

"I hate my cousin. I treated him well in the past, but now he is colluding with Song Fu and wants to take my place in Nansi!"

Feng Liangzu clenched his fists and his face turned red.

"Now that I am at the end of my rope, I can only come to see Governor Li. Please have a good relationship with Mr. Che. Mr. Che is also a disciple of Wang Dachou, the Supervisor of Ceremonies. As long as I can say a word, I will repay you!"

Li Shunzu had experienced the previous things and knew that the water in the capital was very deep. No one could believe it easily, especially people like Feng Liangzu who had always been his enemies before. Now that he suddenly came to ask for help, it might not be a trick of some people.

Li Shunzu's face sank slightly, and then he said with a smile: "As I said just now, all the previous matters between Commander Feng and me have been wiped out. If you have anything to say, please speak up. I will take up my post in the Rong government tomorrow, so I'm afraid there won't be much time."

"Ah! The little one is stupid!"

Feng Liangzu looked horrified and immediately stood up, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed as if pounding garlic.

"Please help Governor Li!"

Li Shunzu was stunned, not expecting him to be like this, and quickly stood up to help him up.

"Commander Feng, what are you doing? Can't you just talk about something?"

However, Feng Liangzu refused to get up. He raised his head and said, "I know that Commander Li still can't trust me in his heart, but I didn't come here empty-handed, so I told Governor Li something. In exchange.”

Seeing that he couldn't pull him up, Li Shunzu stopped exerting his strength, stepped back and sat down, indicating for him to continue talking.

"In the past, Song Fu was not the mastermind behind the incident in Nansi. The person behind the scenes was in the cabinet, and even a small person didn't know his identity. Did Governor Li also know that someone in the court was plotting against the Li family in Liaodong?" These words, Just like when Yuan Chonghuan was arrested at Guangqumen that day, the smile on Li Shunzu's face immediately disappeared and he asked coldly: "What do you know about my Li family?"

Feng Liangzu was a little hesitant, but looking back on his current situation, he knew he had to do this.

"That's all, it's a dead end anyway, Governor Li, I'll just say it!

"It's someone in the cabinet who harmed your Li family. Since the Tianqi Dynasty, Liao's salary has been wasted a lot. The new Chongzhen Dynasty has just been established, and the Liao's salary has been increased by millions. At the same time, your Li family members have been demoted to distant garrison."

"Don't Governor Li think it's strange?"

Seeing Li Shunzu frowning and thinking deeply, Feng Liangzu knew that he still cared about this information, and he was even more determined, and continued: "Li Ruzhen was so honored in the Wanli Dynasty, why was he impeached by the Manchu Dynasty in the first year of Taichang? Imprisonment or death?"

"There is a rumor in the government and the public that it was Li Ruzhen who stationed troops in Shenyang and failed to save Tieling, which led to the fall of Tieling. But your Li family's ancestral graves are outside Tieling City. How can anyone in the world sit back and watch their ancestral graves being dug up by slaves and remain indifferent."

"What's even more strange is that in the battle where Li Rusong led the Qingqi to attack the nest, Li Shuai, who was experienced in combat, was betrayed by the traitor Li Pinghu and was surrounded by the Mongolian tribes and died in the battle. But does Governor Li know where Li Pinghu is now? "

Hearing this, Li Shunzu was slightly startled and said subconsciously: "So you tell me, Li Pinghu, who betrayed my grandfather, is still alive?"

"Governor Li is smart!" Feng Liangzu sneered, "Governor Li knows the scope of your Li family's old department in Liaodong better than the younger ones. If Li Pinghu really betrays Li Shuai, how can the Li family's old department tolerate him?"

"Then Li Pinghu is still serving in Liaodong, and he is prospering without even changing his name."

Li Shunzu believed so, and judging from Yu Kuan's loyalty to the Li family in Liaodong, if Li Pinghu was really the traitor who betrayed Li Rusong, and he was in Liaodong, it would be impossible for the Li family's relatives and friends to tolerate him.

Just Yu Kuan must be eliminated quickly.

It seems that Li Ruzhen was imprisoned and threatened with death, and Li Rusong was betrayed by a traitor, all because of hidden reasons.

Li Shunzu thought of this and looked at Feng Liangzu.

"These things you said are completely baseless. How can I believe you?"

Feng Liangzu seemed to have expected it, and said quickly: "Governor Li, don't worry, Xiao's spy in Nansi has found out where Li Pinghu is. As long as Governor Li can help Xiao get out of trouble, Xiao can secretly order Nan Si Ti to ride out of the capital. Bring Li Pinghu back to the capital."

"When the time comes for Li Shuai's death, I will know if what I said is true or false by just asking!"

Li Shunzu nodded slightly, his heart already moved, but he still did not agree in a hurry.

He didn't speak until Feng Liangzu was a little anxious.

"I have never met Li Pinghu. Who knows whether what you brought is true or false? There is no black and white words on the paper. Isn't it all your nonsense?"

"Besides, even if Li Ping and Hu can be locked up in Beijing in the future, that will happen in the future. If you only talk about this matter, then please come back."

"I can't help you with this."

When Feng Liangzu heard this, he became even more anxious and stopped him quickly.

"Governor Li, stay!"

"I heard from Nansi's spy that someone in the Beijing camp was plotting to kill Governor Li, and His Majesty ordered the Beijing camp to go to war. However, the real power of the Beijing camp is now in the hands of those people. They want to retreat behind the scenes during the war, so that Governor Li and the Liao army are in a disadvantageous situation."

"My informant in Nansi also heard that some border generals conspired with the nobles of the Beijing camp. Governor Li was about to lead the Beijing camp to fight. This information shows that I am sincere in my request." ?”
